I've always said, if you're gonna cheat, then please just break up.

Having sex with other people is not the problem... lying is.

If you're cheating, you're lying.

There is no excuse, it's just selfish behavior.

But people sure can get creative with their reasons.

So this should be good...


Redditor Shinfekta wanted to break down all the reasons people may have to step out on a partner.

So they asked:

"What’s the worst excuse for cheating?"

I mean... go ahead... try and explain. This should be as good as the dog ate my homework.

"A bit late to recognize that huh? What an ass, sorry you had to go through that."

Oh Lord...

"I’ll never forget my first semester in college I met a girl in psychology 101 that shared with the whole class that her boyfriend cheated on her. She said she was going to forgive him because his reason for cheating was because he had never slept with a black girl before and wanted to know what it was like."

"Came home early from work to my last EX in bed with another gu 'I wasn’t trying to hurt you I didn’t think you would find out I came home early because I spilled a frier on my leg and she ignored my call for a ride because she was busy being f**ked. I’m still mad when I think about it."

"'She's your twin... does it really count as cheating?'"

"I dated a girl with an identical twin. One night I came up behind her, wrapped my arms around her, and planted a gentle kiss on her neck. Normally she liked that a lot, but this time she said, 'What the f**k are you doing?' It was her twin. So embarrassed lol. Luckily they both saw the funny side because it's happened before."

Ouch

"I deserved to have sex with a hot guy. It was tough to hear. I didn't think I looked that bad. But it messed with my self-image pretty badly. I had problems with body dysmorphia before I even met her. But between that and a few other comments she made, it came back pretty hard. Most days I do pretty well now though."

Phil it UP!

"One that I heard from a former marriage counselor was a woman who claimed her husband was so affectionate, hard-working, and considerate, she developed an inferiority complex and dealt with it by cheating."

Oldspice0493

"I saw something like that on Dr Phil. This woman was saying how her partner doted on her, did all the dishes, did everything for her. It was disgusting to her how much he loved her, so she felt the need to cheat on him."

Man Goes Viral After 3D-Printing A 6-Pound Phone Case To Combat Screen Addiction

Many Millennials will remember back in the nineties as the last of the "latchkey kids" who were prominently babysat by their televisions, and the commercials that rolled out, made popular on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, promoting kids to go play outside instead of watching TV all day.

Now in 2025, videos on Instagram and TikTok encouraging people to "pause their scroll" and to "put down their phones" are becoming more common and popular, because people are realizing how detrimental our increasing screen time is to our emotional, physical, and psychological health.

Woman Sparks Heated Debate After Encouraging People To Smile At Walmart Greeters

There's an old saying that goes, "It costs nothing to be kind."

Smiling at a stranger, saying hi back to a young and socialable child, holding a door for someone, and maybe even exchanging a pleasantry or two at the checkout line costs nothing more than a few words passing our lips and showing a little kindness.
